Millie, the mitred conure seen at left, recently was found to have a large mass on his neck. We rushed him in to have surgery, where it was successfully removed.Surgery on birds is particularly risky due to their reaction to anesthesia. But Millie was a fantastic patient.
He is currently sporting a collar so that neither he nor his cagemate Cleo can pick at the site.
Cleo is a white-eyed conure. These two boys met at the center and became fast friends. Cleo has been very protective of Millie, and we are so happy that Millie has someone to help him through his recovery!
Once Millie has completed his recovery, they will be up for adoption. Although they like to observe people, they aren't happy about being handled. They will be looking for a home that will provide them with a huge cage, lots of toys, plenty of time outside of their cage, and a great diet. A home that will accept them for who they are and enjoy their antics without putting pressure on them to conform to any expectations.
